@quadfather It doesn't drop if he falls off the cliff, one of the few that don't. There's also a bug where you fight him and he'll just lose all his health and not drop his equipment. If that happens you have to quit and reload hoping he spawns again. I didn't get his stuff until NG++!

@FanBoysSuck - Nae worries. I've not had any problems with Leeroy so far, I run to where he spawns and slam a 2H zwei as he appears. A few more of those and he's down for good. Just remember that you need to have summoned him (and have him survive) the Pinwheel fight.

@quadfather - Exactly that! It's like the Beatrice drop in the Valley of the Drakes, unless you summon him and conesquently keep him alive for Pinwheel then his stuff won't appear at all (apart from the humanity and the souls that he drops). Also bear in mind that there's a gamer called Paladin Leeroy who only ever invades in the same area on PSN - which confuses some people into thinking that the real Paladin has showed up.

Got plenty of pine resin, but Humanity is something I really struggle with. I'm almost constantly hollow, and haven't even been able to kindle the cathedral bonfire.

Think I heard somewhere that rats often give up Humanity, but those three near my previous bonfire never seemed to yield any. ::sniff::

@EMarkM - Help other people to defeat the boss with the white soapstone, get 10 humanity in the top left. Once you've done that you can farm your own humanity from the rats.
Getting past the Hell-Drake is another matter....

GAH FFS!

Ummm, I'm not sure that's true. I definitely had his stuff drop on the last couple of play throughs regardless of whether I summoned Leroy. Maybe it's a patch thing.

@FanBoysSuck - I's say my Cleric is the best character i've made. Claymore is a great weapon for a faith build. Make it an Occult+5 and its always strong. Plus you dont need huge stats to wield it.

Astora sword can kill off skelly bobs too, (however, I wouldnt bother upgrading it anymore than you have already)

@quadfather If you're getting attacked by large skeletons you're going too far into the chamber.You shouldn't face anymore than a few normal skeletons then let him hobble round. Keep him around the area you drop into and that tactic will work every time. You're fucked as soon as the big skeletons join the fun

Ah, this would be why I always get crushed fighting him!

Also I didn't get Grant the first time I fought Leeroy, got it 2nd time round but also I've never summoned him for Pinwheel, only just recently discovered his summon sign!

@FourSevenZero - Perhaps it's an NG+ weapon then? I was certain his drop only happened if you summoned him previously. Meh, seems this is a bugged NPC Just checked the wiki and it als says that you don't ahve to summon him for him to invade/drop but you can't have killed Nito (obvs). It also says not to knock him off a ledge or his stuff'll never appear. Weird. There have been times when he's never invaded despite me being in human form, the only thing that was missing from those playthroughs was summoning him for PW...

It's annoying, but later on, you'll get to a level where there's a big bunch of rats fairly close to a bonfire, and they drop humanity quite regularly.

Failing that - give it a go solo with some pine resin - just whack the first one like mad before the second one turns up, and then just circle strafe the second one when he's breathing fire.
